Detailed Solution

Because more electrons from  (n1)d in addition to ns electrons are involved in the interatomic metallic bonding, d-block metals have higher melting and boiling temperatures.

Except for anomalous values of Mn and Tc, the melting temperatures of d-block increases to d5 and decrease steadily as the atomic number rises.

Assertion is True, reason is True,  reason is a correct explanation for Assertion.
